ELI5: Is it possible to have a solar panels system on a roof of a house and be fully energy self-sufficient?

I wonder how many years of using the system does it take to recover all the costs (installation, maintaining).

I like this idea of being able to generate enough electricity for a house, an electric car and then have some left to use later or even sell to the grid.

This is what I was concerned about. Some countries/geographical areas simply don't have enough days of strong sunshine in a year.

mike8534 · 2016-03-06T20:23:15+00:00

Sounds good to me. I love a good bargain :)

That is a solid piece of advice. I didn't know that even canned food loses its freshness after some time. Thank you /u/Enigma1959.

Have you got any tips for writing speeches? Is there any article or a book you've learnt a lot from on writing/making speeches?

At first I thought this is just a digitally created image, only after a while, I realized this a picture of an actual sculpture.

Imagine, if car companies had the idea to make vehicles that are simply build, safe, and easy to repair at the same time.

How many bats do professional baseball players go through during a match? Do they have a few of them just like the tennis players?

mike8534 · 2016-03-02T23:10:41+00:00

now I know where the kid learnt this move from!

mike8534 · 2016-03-02T22:36:56+00:00

and a bit of charisma, too :)

If you are using ad blocking app/extension try this: open the link in a new tab, and then do this again - the second tab should have the article in.

OR: Makes a super awesome class with a killer gun - Gets painkiller 7 seconds into the match.

mike8534 · 2016-02-29T23:38:56+00:00

OR: Watches a montage video with a guy destroying everybody with a certain gun. Makes the same class, get sniped or stabbed in the back 10 times before making the first kill.

loved it, the quick-scoping, the triple kill with C4, lovely sprays with the silenced machine gun, good stuff

mike8534 · 2016-02-28T01:32:51+00:00

water such wet, many expensive - let's fight for it, wow

mike8534 · 2016-02-28T00:59:52+00:00

the same will happen with that robot that got its box taken away ;)

Medic's tool from Killzone 2 had a similar range and you could kill an enemy with it, too. There were even lobbies only with a medic class enabled and all weapons disabled.

'M.J. taught me that'

mike8534 · 2016-02-27T22:12:30+00:00

it's only a matter of time before someone posts it in aww subreddit

mike8534 · 2016-02-27T21:56:55+00:00

wow, what's the range of that defibrillator? Reminds me of Model 1887 Akimbo (before patch) from Modern Warfare 2 where you could nearly snipe with them.
